Update latest version - solved

Troubleshooting

Hey guys,

Installed brewblox yesterday. Because of a new release just posted today, I tried to update. Forgive me for asking silly questions as this is not my field of expertise!

SSH onto the Pi via my pc and tried the ‘brewblox-ctl update’ within the brewblox directory.

Following error:

pi@raspberrypi:~/brewblox $ brewblox-ctl update
Do you want to update your Spark controller firmware? [Y/n]
y
The following shell commands will be used:

     docker-compose down
     docker-compose pull
     sudo /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install -U brewblox-ctl
     docker rm ctl-lib 2> /dev/null || true
     docker pull brewblox/brewblox-ctl-lib:rpi-edge || true
     docker create --name ctl-lib brewblox/brewblox-ctl-lib:rpi-edge
     rm -rf ./brewblox_ctl_lib 2> /dev/null || true
     docker cp ctl-lib:/brewblox_ctl_lib ./
     docker rm ctl-lib
     /usr/bin/python3 -m brewblox_ctl flash
     /usr/bin/python3 -m brewblox_ctl migrate

Press ENTER to continue, Ctrl+C to cancel

Running command:
docker-compose down

Ideas are welcome! Thanks.

It appears to be because of a change I made to the .yml file, in which I added to lines for usb discovery and the spark’s serial. Deleted those lines and it works. Now, let’s see if it finds my spark after the update…

– Yes it does.

It was complaining that it found a tab where it didn’t expect one.
The docker-compose.yml file uses spaces for indentation - make sure you don’t accidentally add tabs.

Many editors can show control characters to easily check.
